Google’s name

It is a Google fact that the name itself was hit upon by accident. The original founders inadvertently made a spelling error. They wanted to go in for a ‘Googol’ update. The Google fact here is that there was a typo in their first investment check received and another Google fact is that the name’ googol.com’ had already been taken. This Google fact is absolutely authentic.

It is a fact that they learned about the six types of email users and then designed it to fit these 6 types of users.

Feedback from users – a positive Google fact

Another very positive Google fact is that they are very interested in the customer feedback and listen to everyone very keenly. Their working model is oriented in such a manner that the Google employees use one fifth of their time on working on home projects and this has resulted in Google News and Orkut.

Google’s Home page

Another noteworthy Google fact is that their home page is quite empty as their founders were not acquainted with HTML. It is a Google fact that the submit button itself came very late and the ‘Return’ key was the only to get it into action.

An astounding Google fact is that approximately one billion search requests are received per day by the Google Search engine. Another impressive Google fact is that it has the largest index of web pages consisting of 8 billion web pages and the whole collection is often searched in just about half a second.

Yet another interesting Google fact is that users can restrict themselves to 35 non English languages and Google has a Klingon interface for receiving requests which may come from beyond the orbit of the earth. However, naturally, no such requests have been received.
